Zhao Erga glared at his younger brother, turned around and carefully looked at the shack behind him. Then he sighed and whispered: "Brother, don't tell your mother about this, and don't tell your sister-in-law, don't hear ......"

"Brother...... You can't go, I've heard that those thieves recruit people to follow them to fight as people's husbands. It's not certain that this gang of thieves can jump for a few days, if the Ming official army comes to encircle and suppress, even if you are a people's husband, you have to let them be slaughtered as anti-thieves. ”

Zhao Erga glared and scolded angrily: "What nonsense, don't listen to those guys' nonsense." Our mother is this age, and she will be hungry for two more days. ”

"Brother...... If you want to go, I'll go, it's not your turn...... If you have three long and two short, what if the eldest girl and the second egg, and the sister-in-law...... Do you want him to be a widow for the rest of his life? ”

Zhao Erga smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, with your temperament, how can I rest assured when you go out, besides, you haven't even smelled femininity in your life, what are you fighting with me." If...... If I really can't come back, you have to support the eldest girl and the second egg as your own children, and your sister-in-law will be your woman in the future...... Also, you can't leave home until your mother dies......"

The registration office for recruiting workers in the Linqing garrison area is in an open space by the wharf. Wang Xiao, the instructor of the cavalry battalion, and several officers and soldiers of the Far Eastern Army, were sitting in front of a table, waiting for the homeless to sign up. Several officials in Linqingzhou were also arrested to help record.

But at the end of the day, there were not many homeless people who came to sign up, and there were only a few hundred people together. In fact, many people want to come, but everyone has no bottom in their hearts, so most of them have a wait-and-see attitude.

The Far Eastern Army is not in a hurry, anyway, the number of people trained in the first batch is not good. Strive to cultivate a group of backbones first, so that they can taste some sweetness, and when other homeless people see that this group of backbones has benefited, it will be difficult to think about it at that time.

"Instructor, here'......"

Wang Xiao looked up after hearing this, and found that two tall men had come to the registration point. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, such a strong two men.

"Are you here to sign up?" A non-commissioned officer of the Far Eastern Army shouted.

"Master Jun, I'm the only one...... He...... He's my brother, and he's with me...... Master Jun, can you get a bag of white rice if you sign up? ”

Zhao Erga was stunned when asked, looking at a few fierce thieves, he was nervous, and he stumbled when he spoke.

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you just need to sign up, and I will give you a bag of white rice immediately." But after signing and plagiarizing, you can't go back, you have to think clearly before signing. ”

"Master Jun...... I figured it out......"

After listening to Zhao Erga's words, Wang Xiao nodded, and then asked the little official next to him to help register and draw the charge. Then with a wave of his hand behind him, a Far Eastern Army soldier carried a bag of white rice, and put it in front of Zhao Erga with a "bang".

Zhao Erga, who has been carrying work on the dock all the year round, estimated the weight of this bag of white rice with a sweep of his eyes, which was more than 100 catties, and he couldn't help but put it down.

Hundreds of catties of white rice, save some food at home, and then live some wild vegetables or something, how can a family deal with it for more than a month. At that time, the canal should also be opened, and then the second brother will be able to find a living family on the dock.

Thinking of this, he turned around and nodded heavily at the second brother, and then said in a deep voice: "Second brother, carry the white rice home and serve the old lady well......"

"Brother......

He didn't care what the second brother wanted to say, he waved his hand directly at him, and then left with a soldier of the Far Eastern Army.

Zhao Erga was taken outside a grain depot inside the "Brick City" in Linqing Prefecture and sent directly to be purified. After being ravaged inside the purification room, he grinned and walked out of the purification room, where a thief stuffed him with a package.

He took the package and opened it, and found a new set of clothes and bedding inside. Includes tops and trousers, underwear, gloves and socks, and a crossbody bag with cutlery and a wooden kettle, as well as a new set of cotton bedding.

Zhao Erga looked at these things, and felt more and more bad. It seems that this time it is really not a good errand. It's a decimeter and a piece of clothes, and it clearly wants them to work hard.

But he thought about it, a hundred catties of white rice can be eaten by his family for more than a month, and even if he dies, it is worth it. These thieves are kind enough, if this rotten life is sold, it will be difficult to exchange ten catties of white rice in a disaster year, let alone give him a new set of clothes.

Although this set of clothes is sewn from coarse cloth fabrics, it is definitely a good thing for a low-level hard worker like Zhao Erga. The original gown on his body hadn't been changed for several years, and his wife helped sew and mend it, and it was almost bad, and he could tear it in half if he pulled it hard.

I put the suit on my body three times and two times, and put the brand new cloth shoes on my feet, and I felt that the clothes and shoes fit very well. In addition, I just took a bath and purified, and I couldn't say how comfortable I was.

Zhao Erga walked into the granary with the cover, it was empty, against the north wall was covered with a thick layer of straw, and more than 100 homeless people who were wearing the same clothes as him and had their heads shaved were sitting there in twos and threes.

Someone in the granary recognized Zhao Erga and stood up to greet him. A few people are not familiar with him, but they have had a few encounters before, Zhao Erga exchanged a few words with them, and then found an empty place next to him, laid out a mattress and lay on it, and listened to these people next to him with his eyes closed.

"Fourth uncle, are you really going to follow the thief army this time?"

"Then you still need to ask, a hundred catties of white rice, and a cloth cover, do you think it was given to you for nothing?"

"Fourth uncle, the clothes worn by these thieves and the blades in their hands are too exquisite, not to mention the thieves, even the Ming officials and soldiers have no prestige."

"Isn't it, how do I think these thieves are a little different, I can feel a sharp aura from afar. How can the Ming official army have such momentum. ”

"Hmph...... The thief army is the thief army, and there are millions of officers and soldiers from all over the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how powerful they are, they can still beat more than one million officials. Don't think about beautiful things, when the time comes, everyone will have more eyes, and if the momentum is not good, they will run away immediately. ”

The surrounding homeless people were speechless when they heard this, and there was a sudden silence in the granary of Nuoda, but Zhao Erga could feel a faint sadness around him, which made people feel extremely depressed.

At this moment, the door of the granary was pushed open, and several generals of the thief army walked in. Zhao Erga and a group of homeless people hurriedly stood up, and several people knelt down nervously.

A stout thief soldier had a cold face and shouted loudly: "Get up, we don't like to kneel and kowtow." From today on, you will be under the control of Lao Tzu, I have no other requirements, as long as you are obedient. You can do whatever you want, dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu chopped him.
